1. Account Setup

Initial account setup includes simple tasks such as adding users to your vault, setting up their roles, choosing default currency, time zone, setting up company image.

Besides these, other vaults could be invited for connection and pending invitation requests could be managed.

2. API Authentication

VaultN API uses token based authentication to regulate access. New vaults need to create a self issued certificate and upload it to VaultN. This certificate, in turn, is used to validate authentication tokens passed in the header for all endpoints.

3. Catalog Related Endpoints

These endpoints allow you to manage your connections, available products, price lists, promotions, orders, etc.

4. Order Related Endpoints

Order endpoints are used to manage reservations, orders, cancellations, refunds, etc.
